NEWS: North Korea Declares War on Long Hair

The message being given out in North Korea these days concerning hair is a simple one: "Be Like Kim". The communist country has become alarmed by long
hair and has ordered the population to have a more "socialist" style and keep it two inches or less. An exception will be made for men who require
comb overs

SEOUL, South Korea - The order to shaggy-haired North Korean men couldn't be clearer: Get a trim like Kim.

The reclusive communist country is waging a hair war, telling its male population to lose the long locks, cut the coiffures and mow the mane to
conform to "socialist style" — no longer than two inches.

Even hair-challenged, authoritarian leader Kim Jong Il has trimmed his famous pompadour. One exception, however: Comradely comb-overs are OK for older
men.

The short-hair campaign actually was launched in October, but it reached new lengths Monday when state-run Central TV began ridiculing nonconformists
as unhygienic, anti-socialist fools. It comes as North Korea's dictatorship struggles to tighten its control over information, monitor its population
and dictate cultural tastes.

This would be a really funny story if they were not so serious about it. It clearly shows how cartoon like the regime in North Korea is. It also
highlights the danger in dealing with a man who is quite simply crazy.

So you can't have long hair except for if your bald, in which case you can't have short hair...

Congratulations North Korea, seldom if ever do we see such a wonderful example of ludicrous,pompous,self important stupidity, its better than the Fox
comedy channel, enough to give a good belly laugh to the most serious commentator...

Sounds like Kim is just about to go off the deep end. Of all things he puts his focus on the "state of ones hair" This should be far down on a very,
very long list. He should try feeding his people and trying to make peace with the rest of the world.
